When the mathematicians describe the passage across the event horizon of a black hole, they say that the space and time directions switch identity. I had always thought his only a mathematical oddity, but if it were true, if I had rotated when I passed the event horizon and was now perceiving time as a direction in space, and one of the space axes as time, -- this would explain everything. Stars extend from billions of years into the past to long into the future; perceiving time as space, I see lines of light. If I were to come closer and find on of the rocky planets of Wolf 562, it woud look like a braid around the star, a helix of solid rock.
